Really cool if it takes off here in southern ontario, but i wish that they used native haws which is plentiful or at least european haws, rather than buckthorn which harbours pest species for legume crops. Ive recently ordered 60 or so native hawthorn to plug up gaps in our hedgerow, then i plan to lay it in a few years. Though i dont know of anyone around who does it
Hi MacKenzie.i totally agree with you and would use native hawthorn whenever I can get hold of them. I would never plant buckthorn in North America- the buckthorn hedge in the video was the only structure for a ways around that looked like a hedge and the farmer kindly let us use it for laying practice.
Hello Jim, I just want to say I'm very interested in this and I would encourage you to keep it up. Ignore the ignorant comments, people are disconnected from the land. I would love to learn to lay hedges with Osage Orange like we did in the 19th century if I ever get the opportunity.
Rather than resorting to bad language and negativity, perhaps some realization that this video was not aimed at a general audience but rather an academic one might have helped you.
Blah blah blah blabidy blah. You would be waaaaay ahead simply explaining how a hedgerow would work as a good , long lasting livestock fence as opposed to barbed wire. Dump all the bullshit buzzwords you would expect to be spewing out of Al Bore and Jen Kerry.
Not much of a film peice in that one sentence though eh. And the whole point is that there is more to a hedgerow than just a barbed wire replacement. as a general comment, rather than resorting to bad language and negativity, you could have realised the peice was not aimed at a general audience but for an academic crowd, and simply walked away. Have a nice day.

Hi Jim - great speech. I really like your way of speaking!

Damn, 16 seconds in and I'm already sick of bullshit buzz words.
